...and unlike apple's offering - it supports flash too ... in fact all apps on it are flash.
They don't mention web browsing though oddly.
Looks sexy, but what worries me isMakes it sound like a mere fancy remote control does it not?it claims to act as "the ultimate control panel" for the digital home.
Again, I personally will wait a good 12 months till the platform matures, and because I'm broke

If it's an Atom x86 platform, can we not just hack Win 7 onto it?
Please?
It's interesting, these products that are appearing now have obviously been in development for some time.
Would they have had the press attention they are getting if it wasn't for the iPad?
Did the developers get the idea of building their version on the back of all the Apple rumours?
Have tablet/slate systems really come of age?
Thanks added.
No, and yes (respectively). IMO.
- No in that the iPad could itself arguably be a called a piggy-back of tablets before it. Windows 7 - not just iPad - has been successful in getting touch more into the mainstream.
- Yes in that we're able to run capable (I'm thinking 720p) devices that can run for 8-10 hours (see video on page).
The questions I have on this product, which I have not found answers for yet are:
- How well does the alarm clock work, or worded another way: how good are the speakers? My proposed usage would be by the bed-side.
- Can it VPN into a server/workstation?
- Slightly different to above, can it function as a mirrored display, meaning I didn't have to save up for an OrigenAE T12 to compliment my projector.
- Can it do Windows SideShow? (Important.)
I appreciate all these 4 things - to varying degrees - involve my Windows computers, and this device runs Linux. It all depends what apps OpenPeak has built/commissioned for the device.
